Ballarat Yoga

I am a complete beginner to Yoga, but have found these classes very rewarding, especially to stretch out my back as a balance to doing weights, and to strengthen my core, legs and knees in addition to adding focus to my mind and meditative energy to my exercise routine. Shayna is a lovely, professional teacher and the environment is peaceful and warm. Highly recommended.

The experienced teachers are amazing!! Their knowledge, guidance and care during class is what keeps me returning. I have old injuries that the teachers help me to manage throughout each pose. Yoga makes me more conscious of my posture. I always feel better when I have practiced. The new studio is fresh, bright and well fitted out with ample props to use.

My first visit at the new location and it was fantastic to be back in studio for a class. Shayna is a very experienced teacher and her instructions are easy to follow. I have felt good all day after a 90 minute general class this morning. Very grateful this level of yoga instruction is available in Ballarat. If you have not tried Iyengar yoga before I highly recommend this studio as a place to start.

I have been attending yoga classes at Ballarat Yoga since 2017. Shayna teaches the whole class with attentive, focused precision, always offering insightful instruction amidst the relaxed, casual, and friendly studio vibe. The classes are so effective, and sometimes challenging, but with Shayna’s support and guidance, I get through the challenges and always leave class feeling revitalized, uplifted, and happy. I value the quality of teaching at Ballarat Yoga so much that I am undertaking yoga teacher training under Shayna’s professional supervision.

I have been attending classes at Ballarat Iyenga Yoga for several years. Shayna and Cara are both excellent teachers. Very experienced and attentive. Each class is always thoughtful and well-paced and leaves me feeling quiet and strong and looking forward to the next class!

Ballarat Yoga came highly recommended by word of mouth. I've been a casual yoga goer over the years but this is the first studio I will continue to return to for many years. There is so much wisdom and integrated knowledge in the instructors and how the classes are taught. They are very conscientious of working with ailments/ injuries; it is a very safe space to work with your body in whatever stage you may be. A class leaves me balanced, stronger, at ease in my body and feeling whole. If you're looking for a safe, knowledgeable and down to earth studio, this is the one!

I started to practice Yoga at Ballarat IYENGAR Yoga in the middle of 2016 after my traditional Chinese medicine doctor had suggested me to do some stretching activities with acupuncture treatment for my frozen shoulder problem. Even after I moved to Melbourne to work in October 2017, I still went back to Ballarat to practice Yoga during school holidays.I really thanked for Ballarat IYENGAR Yoga had offered online Yoga practice which enabled me to continue practice Yoga without stopping this practice during lockdown time. I really like Ballarat Yoga as all Yoga teachers are very friendly and professional. Shayna, Cara and Ansha, Glen are all patient and caring, they especial pay attention to my weakness and correct my wrong gesture. Practice of Yoga has become part of my life.

This is the best place, shayna and Cara is amazing and patient and kind. I am a very comfortable in the environment and feel able to give it my all and feel comfortable doing so. The range of poses are great and can give a challenge too which is fun but can also be very relaxing and calm. It is affordable too :) They all take in to consideration whether you have had injuries or currently do and can work to their pace and recommend what is best for you. I 100% recommend coming here whether your new to it or not , it is worth it.
